P2R install and impressions
Super fast shipping from Excelerate. Thanks Joshua.
Install is a PITA though as Acura decided to overly complicate something as simple as a air filter housing and boot removal (tight). This get very tight after the install as the air intake tube must be compressed a bit to fit due to the reduced room available. Keep in mind that the gaskets are separate and come in single packs x2.
Reset the ECU.
Drove around a bit, not really expecting much as cars generally seem snappier right after an ECU reset.
After some miles the car does seem to exhibit a little more oomph. Certainly not significant or close to what the pulley offers-I believe dynos from others indicated 5hp or so from this mod. Will post back with further impressions as the miles pile on.
I will install the AEM V2 intake later on as I need to cut it to fit.

Thank you and you're welcome.
Gains on the TL showed about 5whp. It's not going to be a huge seat of the pants gain but every little bit helps and it help reduces intake air temps and for just over $100 it's a great mod.

Easily remedied.
